    People keep trying to attribute maliciousness to stupidity as well. Mostly because it’s easier to dismiss stupidity than argue against it.

    He’s shortsighted, narcissistic, and petty. But he doesn’t do things just to prove how much of a big idiot he is. Dismissing everything he does as “idiocy” just gives him more leash to piss on everyone from.

      I wouldn’t say those two things are mutually exclusive, Trump is dumber than shit and also a raging malicious bastard. The Nazis were both malicious as hell and stupid as fuck.
